The Question of Why?
Why the Outdoor?
Why people go for adventure as
alternatives?
Perhaps, we want to take up challenge that demands the best capabilities.
There are many challenges in life. What is important is to seek out my own, whatever it
may be, I would make sure that it is going to extend me. Remember, not those 5 minutes
interest !
There is no virtue in easy victory, if you have given your genuine best, you will either
overcome the challenge, or retreat with dignity through skill and experience, but not
through luck alone. Then you have had one of the greatest experiences of your life.
Ultimately, life is about feeling, about being concerned with the joy of living. Not with
the anxieties of modern life. We must bare in mind that the more uneventful life is, the
more we become bored, frustrated and restless. In this present world, many people wonder
about whether their future occupation will continue to exist and provide them with a
living for years ahead. Quite often they wonder if their interest in it will continue, and
whether leading such a life will make them happy.
Adventures, particularly those that take people into the realm of awesome monuments of
mountains, jungles, oceans, rivers and deserts, do present risk and danger. If they did
not, we would all live in a far less fascinating world. Being afraid is a good sign, but a
dangerous challenge is healthy as it stimulates us both mentally and physically to achieve
results that perhaps you never dream you could succeed in. The important thing is to
recognise your limitations, be conscious of them. When fear occurs, learn to live with it
and if possible to overcome it.

page is still under construction !)
If you would like to

Game of Climbing.
Having known something
about climbing and given yourselves the opportunity to expose to the fun of climbing. Now
your next move is to visit my page on Aspiring climbers and do
share your views...!
Since the evolution of
climbing, stories after stories of events, experiences, epics, adventures and achievement
has been recorded through writing by climber's themselves in a very unique, interesting,
informative and inspiring way, which is today known as mountain literature.
In a very brief and
simple way, i have recorded some of my climbs. You could choose to visit my page on Trip Reports . Unfortunately , in no way these articles are
comparable or even near to those mountain literature wrote by climbers of great characters
and with years of experiences. In anyway, i hope you'll enjoy reading them.
So, for those who
don't climb, just started to climb, experienced climbers or even armchair adventurer, who
are looking for more.... or keen to know how others celebrate the risk, the joy and the
adventure of being alive. You may go to my page on Mountain Literature
to give you a few good titles for a start.
